Chapter 163: Southern Elephant. Northern elephants
Bi'er came to Ran'er and said softly: "Husband, you talk to your old friend and the big rabbit." Let's just say that we will take a step forward first. Tomorrow we will come to this court to discuss relevant matters with them. Let the two of them first appease the emotions of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces, and don't make any more trouble. Tomorrow everything will be settled! ”
Ran Er came to the military general and the big rabbit, and whispered: "Two brothers, there are many things that my wife and I can't do, and we need to ask the emperor and queen of our country for instructions." The two of us will come to the morning court tomorrow, and you two have a difficult task, which is to ensure that after the morning court today and before dawn tomorrow, your Iron Elephant Kingdom can maintain the status quo! Tomorrow morning, everything will be visible. You two need to be very careful, anything can happen in one night! ”
The military general said in a solemn tone: "Master! I will show my skills to the ministers one by one, so that they can be under the control of a few real people in the cabinet as they have been in the past, and they will naturally be grateful to me! But several people in the cabinet don't go to the early court on weekdays, but today the emperor has become the excrement of this rabbit brother, and they can't not know about it! If this night, several members of the cabinet unite to form some temporary court, I am afraid that we will lose all our efforts! ”
The White Rabbit pondered for a moment at this time and said, "Brother Ran'er, I have a plan, I don't know if it can be feasible?" ”
Ran Er clenched his fists and said, "Brother Rabbit, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Don't worry! ”
The White Rabbit smiled and said, "Don't hide it, brother." I know that the queen of your country is a star descending to earth, so why don't you let her immobilize the members of our cabinet in her own home, so that they cannot go out. You don't have to fix them all the time, just set them until two or three days later, the little emperor will ascend the throne. At that time, they will see that the general trend has gone, and it will be useless to beat their chests and feet! ”
Ran Er replied with a smile: "Brother Rabbit's suggestion is very good, I will go back with the lady and immediately inform the queen mother of your thoughts." Without further ado, my wife and I will say goodbye first! With that, Ran'er and Bi'er both jumped on the spot, their souls returned to the outside of the treasure mirror, and their souls returned to their bodies.
Everything that happened in this mirror just now, the emperor and the empress, as well as the civil and military ministers of the Ziyang Kingdom, all saw it clearly and clearly. At this time, Bi'er and Ran'er returned to the main hall, except for the queen and the stars, everyone else was still in a trance!
Qin'er said to Ran'er: "Ran'er, when you were talking to the big rabbit just now, I had already sealed all the cabinet members of the Iron Elephant Kingdom at home as quickly as possible. They can now move around in the courtyard of their homes, but they can't open the doors of their homes even with all their might. In addition, some cabinet members did not have food reserves at home, so I would throw some food and water into their courtyards at night. I've thought it all out, right? ”
Ran Er replied with a smile: "The queen mother is witty, and the emperor must be very satisfied with this arrangement!" ”
The queen walked up to Bi'er again and said, "Bi'er, I have just deduced that strange idea in your heart, and your idea should be reported to the emperor by yourself!" By the way, let this civil and military ministers listen to whether your idea is feasible? ”
Bi'er came to the emperor, clasped her fists and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I know that although the twins of their Iron Elephant Kingdom are brothers, they are very competitive and competitive, and even they both think that they are elder brothers and the other party is younger brothers. They all call each other brothers! So, the minister had a bold idea! Why don't we divide the Iron Elephant Kingdom into two and call them the Southern Elephant and the Northern Elephant respectively. Let these twin brothers each run a country, and see which of them can manage better! Your Majesty, what do you think of the minister's thoughts? ”
When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said to Bi'er: "Sister Bi'er's idea is very peculiar, and I think it seems to be more clever than what our ministers originally discussed!" What do you think? ”
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the first emperor said very seriously: "Your Majesty, Bi'er's idea is good, but there is a deadliest problem here?" That is, the two brothers do not agree, so once the Iron Elephant Kingdom is divided into two, there may be several situations! The first is the one that is most beneficial to us, and although the two brothers are not at odds, they are both afraid of you. The second is that one of these brothers respects you and the other is hostile to you. Of course, the worst-case scenario is that although the two brothers are not in harmony, they will be unanimous with the outside world, if this is the case, wouldn't we have wasted our efforts to divide the Iron Elephant Kingdom in two? ”
Qin'er took the words of the first one and said, "What Daddy said is extremely true! I was wondering if we could work around Bi'er's idea. The cabinet members of this Iron Elephant Country are actually in the state of completely overthrowing the emperor. In other words, they are not willing to be servants! Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to talk to them? You just said let them think about it, you and a few of them divided the Iron Elephant Country, and how many of them were willing? You want half of it, set up any child as a puppet emperor, and the other half for a few people to deal with, and you don't interfere. I think this plan is more feasible, because none of the cabinet members of these Iron Elephant Country are really patriots, and half of the country is a temptation that they can't resist at all! ”
When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said to the courtiers: "Aiqing, what do you think of the queen's thoughts? ”
The ministers praised each other, and they all said that the queen was worthy of being a star. That's a brilliant idea!
On the second day, above the early dynasty of the Iron Elephant Kingdom, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were full of interest! Their dream for so many years has finally come true! Because they were all beaten on the head yesterday with that magical little stick, they really didn't show up last night, and were at the mercy of those cabinet members! Now they are real people, day and night!
Bi'er and Ran'er came to the early dynasty as promised. When the Manchu civil and military saw their husband and wife coming, they all seemed very affectionate, and they all said that they were willing to obey their husband and wife!
Just when everyone was talking and laughing in the early court, a cabinet member walked into the main hall.
He walked straight up to Ran'er and said very seriously: "Brother Ran'er, the emperor and queen of your country had a long talk with me last night!" After much consideration, I have decided to follow your country's suggestion! I'm here this morning to announce this decision! Ran'er listened and nodded happily.
The cabinet member walked up to the dragon chair, but did not sit on it. With his back to the dragon chair, he faced the Manchu Dynasty and announced loudly: "Because the emperor of my Iron Elephant Kingdom died suddenly, and there is no adult prince in my country who can independently hold the throne. After deliberation and decision by the Cabinet, the Iron Elephant Country was divided into two. It is bounded by the elephant statue in Ivory City, and the south of the statue is later called the South Elephant Country; To the north of the statue is called the Northern Elephant Kingdom. The new emperors of both countries are elected by the votes of the residents of both countries from among the sons of the deceased emperors. I wonder if you have any opinions on this? ”
The ministers have been enslaved by these cabinet members for so many years, so they dare to be angry but dare not speak! After a few more minutes, the cabinet member shouted, "My lords, since you have no opinion, then this matter is passed!" Of course, you will also face a cruel truth! Depending on where you live, you will become a member of two countries in the future! Serve two different countries, and it is possible to meet each other on the battlefield in the future! ”
When all the ministers heard this, they all felt depressed in their hearts! It's so likely that they will be cannibalistic! But they changed their minds and were happy again! Because no matter what, I finally got rid of the bloody rule of the first emperor! In short, everyone's feelings are incomparably complex and contradictory!
